City of West Bend
Code of Ethics

1.65 DECLARATION OF POLICY. The proper operation of democratic


government requires that public officials and employees be independent, impartial and


responsible to the people; that government decisions and policy be made in proper channels

of the government structure; that public office not be used for personal gain; and that the

public have confidence in the integrity of its government. In recognition of these goals,

there is hereby established a Code of Ethics for all City officials and employees, whether


elected or appointed, paid or unpaid, including members of boards, committees and

commissions of the City. The purpose of this code is to establish guidelines for ethical

standards of conduct for all such employees and officials by setting forth those acts or

actions that are incompatible with the best interests of the City and by directing disclosure

by such officials and employees of private financial or other interests in matters affecting the

City.

1.66 RESPONSIBILITY OF PUBLIC OFFICE. Public officials and employees are

agents of public purpose and hold office for the benefit of the public. They are bound to

uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this State and carry out

impartially the laws of the nation, State and the City and to observe in their official acts the


highest standards of morality and to discharge faithfully the duties of their office regardless


of personal considerations, recognizing that the public interest must be their prime concern.


Their conduct in both their official and private affairs should be above reproach so as to


foster respect for all government.
